Hawaii Luau

Tips for booking a Hawaiian Luau

A Luau is one of the high points of many people's Hawaiian vacation. You can expect to eat a
buffet dinner with some local specialties & some more standard fare, have
entertainment that usually includes Polynesian dancing, and possibly watch
and learn about some traditional crafts.

You'll want to book ahead as the best
Luaus sell out, especially during high season and seating is usually
assigned when you book your tickets.

Here are some questions to ask when choosing a luau:

Are children
welcome? What age children will most enjoy the show?

What food will be
served (you will want to try a traditionally prepared kalua pig)

What is the
schedule?

How many drinks
are included? Is there an open bar?

How long does the
entertainment last? Is there anything that this Luau is
particularly famous for?

Where will the
luau be held? Is it outdoors? Is the setting pretty?

What happens if it
rains?

What tips are
included?

What is the
cancellation policy?

How is seating
assigned?
